Ralph Lauren was founded in 1967 by the American designer of the same name. The brand is renowned for its tailored designs, particularly its shirts emblazoned with a polo player logo, which evoke a classic back-to-school look. Today, the headquarters are in New York, and stores can be found around the world.

The first Ralph Lauren café opened in New York, United States. Since then, cafés and trucks have appeared across the world, including in Doha, Dubai, London, Miami, and Tokyo.

The King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh is not only a hub for business and innovation but also a rising star in the city’s dining scene. Diners can explore everything from contemporary Japanese at Zuma and innovative Chinese at Mr. Chow, to refined Italian at the FACT award-winning Il Baretto or visit Kurru, FACT’s recent ‘Restaurant of the Year.’
